Anaconda FCoE Boot Support
Add FCoE support to anaconda's boot and storage code.
- Name: Hans De Goede
- email: hdegoede AT fedoraproject DOT org
- Targeted release: Fedora 12
- Last updated: 2009-06-26
- Percentage of completion: 70%
FCoE devices will be recognized and the installation will offer to use them.
Benefit to Fedora
Improved hardware support
The code is written and is currently in debug.
How To Test
Testing will require FCoE hardware, which is not terribly common.
We will have to verify the following areas of functionality:
- recognize devices and install
- on new partitions
- on existing partitions
- on new LVM logical volumes
- on preexisting LVM logical volumes
- creation of encrypted block devices at various levels in the device stack (partition, PV, LV, mdarray, &c)
- detection of arbitrarily complex device configurations (luks, mdraid, lvm, &c)
- management and configuration of existing encrypted block devices
- automatic partitioning of systems
- clearing of existing devices/partitions
- removal of existing devices
- reconfiguration of existing devices
- detection of existing upgradable installations with widely varied storage configurations
- rescue mounting of existing systems with a wide variety of storage configurations
This should improve the user's experience with regard to the storage configuration portion of system installation.
No impact unless you have this hardware.
Revert to previous codebase.
Will need to include in Installation Guide.
- Not terribly applicable because this hardware is not common, but worth a small mention.
